Never, Ever Feed It After Midnight

I didn't know if I should use that for the title of this post or 'OM NOM NOM NOM'.

Granted I don't turn into some mischievous and destructive green creature if fed after midnight.

Ok, Mischievous maybe. Destructive and green, no.

However I have had a serious cases of the munchies lately.

I am wondering if this has to do with the Progesterone that was added two weeks ago to my regime?

I am not sure. Still the last time I had cravings similar to this I was right in the middle of my early teen years. Not only was I growing (and growing as a boy mind you), I was training to be an competitive cyclist.

Thus my body was not only craving food to grow it was craving food as energy.

Yes my parents complained a lot, since I would consume food faster then what they could do to keep it in the house. I would guess near four and five thousand calories a day. Little less in the winter as the Midwest weather kept me indoors more. Reducing my training program a bit.

What I am feeling now is no where near the level of cravings I had back then. They still have perked up considerable and most notably in the last few days.

Curious.

So I have to watch. Since I didn't work so darn hard to loose all that extra weight I was carrying around for three years.

And it took me three years to lose it safely and effectively. Sorry this girl doesn't believe in crash dieting.

Which I have been for the most part, snacking on fruit and other things that are good for me.

Lol Stace I do indulge. Life is too short not to enjoy some of the finer things, not to mention yummy.

Still I try to keep my binges to a minimum. My point in the other post was a donut and a overly large chocolate chip cookie in the same day isn't good.

It was over three years ago I changed my eating habits to just eat better, along with healthier food more often. And if I was going to eat something scandalously high in calories to minimize how much of it I consumed. However staying true to this plan as allowed me to indulge often enough to not have to worry about it all going to the wrong spots.

Think about this, since I have started I have lost 22.5KG (50lbs for us Americans) and a little over 6 inches from my waist.

Right now all I am trying to do is stay where I am at. I am not actively trying to loose anything more.
